Sir N. CONANT.--Yon are represented to us G s a dangerous character. Have you any fire-arms in your house ? Prisoner.--No : I have fire-irons, but not fire arms. I have nut had a pistol in my hand since 1 lett the Navy. Sir N. CONANT.-1 really do not see any occa sion for keeping this man, Prisoner.--As you do not intend to detain me, I shall he obliged if you will inform me who laid the information against me, so that I may be able to prosecute them.

[FIRST PART.] Cui plus lie Net quans.par tst, plus vult licet If we now lie'd in times Of slavish awe, When tyrant Monarchs made their will sole law; If subjects kiss's the castigating rod, And bless'd the foot which on theirgall'd necks trod Who would not:then the Patriot Hero bless, That should stand forth such evils to redress, The People rouse, and shew, by sword and pen, Kings are not more, or subjecis less; than men ? Ah ! who would doubt in such a glorious strife To fix his fame by risking fortune, life ? But in Our times and•land this is revers'd, We are by faction, not oppression, curs'd ; And frog► the state of things and persons here, We hare much more from Mobs than Kings to fear. Seditious hand-hills stick on all our walls; Go ,where we will some throat sedition bawls; Discharg'd 6rirultionists each other greet, And mock the Government in every street ; Vileparodiei on .prayers are read as wit, Nay, Juries too the Parodist acquit ; ~And so in fashion are the factious tribe, 'That to support them Lords themselves subscribe; Using. a name we reverence to our hurt, ren , Catechisms are printed to pervert, Whilst .Journals, Registers, Dwarfs, Black and Yellow, In mischievous array has each its fellow; And last, not least, the Edinburgh Review. Sends forth the poisons of the Northers' Crew; Yes, —, you, in its too dangerous page, Do all you can to rouse the rabble rage— Let rue attempt to paint our present curse, Then blush to think you strive to make it worse. Whilst now our females greedily imbibe The dangerous poisons of the novel tribe, And warm'd by theist grow ripe for Drury-lane, Our hinds and artisans devour Toss PAY NE; With eager snatch, that shews their dire disease, They COBB tTes trash and Wuoeaa's garbage seize; And as they circle round the ale-house fire, Their bold profaneness and their jests admire; Pipes then they smoke, and hiccupping they scan The wrongs of Monarchs and the righfs of man; The thug goes round, the ale inflames each tread, Faction speaks loud, and loyalty lies dead ; They threaten vengeance, every word is treason, Aml_thus they realize the Age of litva.von. Thus, as their habits by degrees grow strong, They lose their native sense of right and wrong; Consider Laws as mighty useless things, And have a sovereign contempt for Kings; Nay, worse, they learn their Bibles to despise, And think its heavenly truths mere human lies; As worthy members of this lawless sect, Of course the Ten Commandments they reject; And then in proof of philosophic zeal, They break the sabbath, swear, drink, murder, steal— Until, condemned by the offended laws, They die suspended martyrs in the cause. Not all 'tis true such eminence attain; Nut all such noble elevation Cain; But many, far too many, such we see, The same in kind tho' differing in degree. Such are the Luddites, who neglect their labours, To break machines and fright their honest neighbours; Oath-bound, on some Issue spot they meet fur drill, To fit themselves for yetinore serious ill; To revolutionize the laud their view, - - And all the Gallic horrors here renew. In the same spirit the misguided mob" Gather their force to break the peace and rob; What wise enlightmed means these rabble friends Of liberty employ to gain their rude! The price of food is high —to make it lower They burn the Corn which was too scarce before; The Spa-fields gentry—wise as Blackheath lions—. Of the iiithe tree are nut unworthy scions . ; Of Palace-yard, the heroes are the same, Who think all true their demagogues declaim ; From Whom' they hear, more mischievously said, What they before in COBBVIT'S page had read. Thus speak they—" You are gull'd, abus'd, oPpress'd— " Your Laws a cheat, your Governme!;( a 'pest ; Whu does not see, that has one grain of sense, " Our Statesmen spend by pounds and save by pence ? " Say from our Sinking Fund what good we get ? " Sink what it may, it does nut sink our debt. " Are we not now with all the world at peace? " And can you say our ruiserizs decrease? " No, no; the Ministers add tax to taxes; " W e du not fihd their grasp at all relaxes, " And soon we all must die by suffocation— " (There may be truth in that) the wretched nation " Bleeds by its ruler's crimes—they Would snake war,— " But can they tell us what they made it for ? "If they cannot—l can—they wisled you broke, " By want, distress, and taxes to the yoke— " Alti ska!! they have it so? n0,.n0, I see " Each face proclaims you are and will be free. " Will be? but how? I'll tell you—firm oppose " The Ministers—they are your deadly foes; " They are to blame ; the fault lies all with them: " They are the men true patriots should condemn. " All seems indeed to prosper in their hands; " They have o'erthrown the predatory bands " Of France, and laid their leader in the dust; " No thanks to theist for this ; that happen must " That happen will; and fools cannot succeed " To alter that which is by fate decreed. " True, the)' have freed our brethren o'er the waves, " But what of that, if we ourselves are slaves? " And slaves we are; yes, are so to our shame ; " Our boasted freedom is an empty name. " The House of Commons! what, my friends, are they " But hireling slaves in Ministerial pay? " The House of Lords ! the Lord knows they are worse. " No, no; 'tis weight of interest and of purse " .Dnes all things now; the golden times are fled; " Our Sires were free; to us is freedom dead. " My friends, my countrymen, be then alert, " Your rights, long trodden under foot, assert; " Wake from your sleep; arouse- ye at my call; And let oppression and oppressors tall." (T be cwaina . ca.) NINTH EPISTLE to the F:DINIMItGIi REVIEWERS Exa UTION AT ALIlf. 0 , 17FT/Trit PARTICUIAR! ) PM'S, JUNE 12 —The exerormou om the rersorts'. condemned Anil tool; pl ace or; Wedne s d a y, the 3d of Jane. Omm Tuesday, the 2d of June, at about half-past ten o"chn k at night; the King's Attorney 7General received, by express, the Decree of the Court of Cassat;on, rejecting the appeal of the condemned.. On the following morning the military posts were doubled, and every measure of security Hod vigi lance adopted for putting in execution the decree of condemnation. At eleven o'clock the Usher Cosmic was introdoeed into the prison St. Ce cilia. Time names of Bastide, Jausion, and Cohod, resounded within its vaults, and each of the con demned advanced, his hands being tied behold his back. They were as yet ignorant of the fate th„t awaited them, and were racked by anxiety and tear. The Usher read to them the decree reject ing their appeal. They were itUrnedia«•ly sepa rated, and each plunged alone into his cell, where they were sti icily wielded, un•il the dreadful mo mem -that awaited them. Jausion dispkyed more CdIIIIIICSS and resigna ion than might have been expected. Bastide, on learning the lot reserved for.bian, appeared vet y much cast down: Th tt audacity and courage w hi c h he 11,01 displ a y e d during the tri;ll abandoned him. Colard went bitterly, protested Iris innocence, and spoke only of his dear Anne Benoi , . This %vowel), on her parr, was occupied only with the unhappy toiari. MM. Chatard and Rivieres, almoners of the pri son, arrived soon after:to petform for these eni fortunate men the pious duties of their august ministry. Bastide and Jausion interrupted their discourses, and called, for a notary to execute their testament of death, and to produce new dis coveries. The law requires, in i.s wise provision, that the .Magistrates, skilful rim 06covering the traces of great criu,es, and in amusing their pu nishmeat, should unite to such services the use fed duty of cone ctiug the last thoughts and ex. pressions of the condemned. M. Pagan, charged with this duty, proceeded 'et two o'clock to the prison, where he employed all tne.efforts of mild persuasion - to imbfain from time unhappy men time confession of their crimes. Jausion made nu re ply to his entreaties,• but desired, for the. honour of his family, that his protestations should be tes tified. Bastide required the same, and that they should observe the memory of his last words at his hind hour. Colard, widmont changing his sentiments for her who was the object ut his re• gret, also protested his innocence. At length, about half-past four, time condemn ed %vete conducted from. the prison and plaCed on the fatal cart. Bastide, - Colard, and Jacisi e nm &vete in time middle, time two respectable ecalesiestics at the extremities, holding in their hands the cross, the 'sign of our redemption. They invoked tl en, in the name of their God, to repentance and con= fession. But the condemned never ceased to pro test their innocence. Arrived at the place of execution, a momentary impulse of horror and alarm appeared to• affect them at the sight of the horrible preparation for punishment. Jausion first ascended the seatfold, with sufficient tesignation. Colard was borne almost in all agony, and did not display hi his lest moments the same energy lie had manifested dur ing the trial. Bastide followed them with firm ness, and underwent his fate without complain. trig. Before submitting his head io • the hatchet of the executiont;r, Jainiion invnked Heaven and mankind. He said, that belief ought to be at tached to the assertions of a man till the point of , death—that his words ought to be sacred—and he again prOtt.stO his innocence.
